BOTSWANA'S ISAAC MAKWALA SETS UP SHOWDOWN WITH WORLD CHAMPION SOUTH AFRICAN WAYNE VAN
NIEKERK AFTER BEATING ILLNESS. Botswana's Isaac Makwala in action at the IAAF World Athletics
Championships in London during the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London on August 9, 2017.
Botswana's Isaac Makwala joined South African favourite Wayde van Niekerk in the World Championships
200m final - having earlier qualified for the semis with a solo run at London Stadium. Makwala
missed Monday's heats while barred from competing as officials dealt with a norovirus outbreak. He
came out of quarantine at 14:00 BST on Wednesday and ran a time of 20.20 seconds in an individual
time trial. Makwala, 30, then qualified in second place from the first semi-final. Photo courtesy
